All 18 hours of travel went according to schedule, but when we reached our final destination, it took them an hour to find a gate, then a couple more hours to unload our luggage. We’ve just learned today that the bug he had over the weekend &amp; that I picked up from him is Covid </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2298632 Thu, 29 Dec 2022 04:35:27 +0000 Zaeobi 2298632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you guys manage to make it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2298090 Sun, 25 Dec 2022 12:03:54 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2298090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suntiger, thanks for checking in! </p> <p>We got our stuff packed, found a better priced shipper, have a buyer for the apt and then…..</p> <p>Our flight was canceled, so we will miss Christmas with family. We fly out the morning of the 26th. I planned to go to hear Handel’s Messiah at the Cathedral and then go out to eat somewhere with a cozy fireplace and then….</p> <p>My son had a fever in the night and now, Christmas Day, is throwing up and sleeping an inordinate amount. </p> <p>So now we just hope to make it to the airport and for him to feel better by my parents anniversary dinner on the 27th. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2297535 Tue, 20 Dec 2022 23:51:44 +0000 Anonymous 2297535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How's it going now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2296784 Sat, 17 Dec 2022 08:41:13 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2296784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, she is my soul sister! I gave up &amp; hired help, but he got sick before he ever got here. But my son arrives tomorrow to help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2296741 Sat, 17 Dec 2022 00:49:38 +0000 Sally 2296741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my friends got a new job last minute at the end of the school year so she had one week to be packed ready for the moving truck and move herself to another part of NZ. She text me saying I’m not buying clothes again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2296622 Fri, 16 Dec 2022 08:17:32 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2296622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenn! Easy enough ideas, hard to put into practice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2296585 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 21:04:41 +0000 Jenn 2296585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel your pain. Moving is incredibly stressful, but you've done this before and you can do it again. Be kind to yourself and remember, it's only stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2296574 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 19:34:16 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2296574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Synne, I’d love to have you come play in my wardrobe with me! My ideal “closet” is a wall full of the deep Ikea Ivar shelves, one or two sections with a hanging rod, of course, and gorgeous panel curtains in front. Outside the curtain, a tall and sexy lingerie chest with a red velvet-covered bulletin board above it, to hang costume jewelry on, &amp; a free-standing mirror in a ridiculous art nouveau style. Instead, what I’ve got now are 2 suitcases &amp; half a dozen ikea Frakta bags. Sigh.</p> <p>Btw, that second picture is organized—winter things at the wall, then spring, then summer. Top choice items at the end of the bed, then a second line further back, rejects on the floor beside it. Stuff in the wardrobe (which I shared with my son) was T-shirts &amp; tank tops, and undies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2296567 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 19:19:06 +0000 Synne 2296567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep calm sister! You've got this.<br /> And boy are those wardrobe snaps intriguing! I wanna see more! You deserve a walk-in-wardrobe (and I want to snoop around ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2296535 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 16:40:52 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2296535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Minaminu, I went and looked it up—that isn’t accurate. Oops. See Jenn’s comment here for actual numbers, but it was seriously imbalanced. <a href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-inventory-what-now" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....y-what-now</a></p> <p>So far I’ve sorted out 20 items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2296534 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 16:15:39 +0000 Minaminu 2296534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh wow - I admire the work you've been putting on!&nbsp;<br />60 summer tops!!!! OMG! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2296495 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 09:49:10 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2296495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, one tiny piece of it is tamed. I’ve got a nice little 30x30. When we got here, our stuff took much longer to arrive than expected, so most of my clothes were the 60 summer tops I’d crammed into one suitcase, plus dirty laundry I’d worn while packing. I know I’ll be in a better situation now.<br /> Black baby bootcuts<br /> &lt;s&gt;Dark wash flare jeans&lt;/s&gt;<br /> Pinstripe jeans or other jeans that don’t require heels<br /> Wide leg Desigual cords<br /> 3 different length cord skirts<br /> Long wool skirt<br /> Viscose skirt<br /> [deleted green / purple 2 piece dress]<br /> Big mustard wool sweater<br /> Green boiled wool jacket<br /> Drapey pink &amp; blue long cardi<br /> Cropped puff sleeve magenta zip cardi<br /> Pale blue fleece zip cardi<br /> Black zip hoodie sweatshirt<br /> Base layers, including 2 dresses.<br /> Chevron leggings<br /> 3 colors of sweater/fleece tights<br /> Basics cleverly highlighted by their placement here.<br /> Might add black velvet pants that are being altered. </p> <p>In other words, I gathered up the stuff I’ve been wearing recently, organized it, and realized it could work this way. </p> <p>Between that and the summer clothes I left behind in September, I could add my little spring work capsule and fantasize that I was Jenn with such a neat &amp; tidy little wardrobe. </p> <p>But I’m going to take the rest. Too many pieces I’d miss otherwise.</p> <p>PS Synne, are you reading this? Note all the different shapes, svp! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2296441 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 00:45:36 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2296441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that you mention it, Rachylou, I don’t even have a new place yet—just need to get out of here! Had the dude check out a place for me today; he worried about whether I’d be safe there. He’s more security oriented than I, but I’ll take his word for it. </p> <p>Nikki, lol! I started adding up what I have left to do/how many days each task will take &amp; frightened myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2296438 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 00:30:05 +0000 Anonymous 2296438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thinking of you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2296434 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 00:16:40 +0000 rachylou 2296434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I’m bad at moving.

I’d never heard of one before either, but if necessity is the mother of invention, desperation is the papa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2296298 Wed, 14 Dec 2022 13:54:15 +0000 Sisi 2296298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are doing very well. I do not know what an eBay sales agent is but I understand it is a quick, stress-free solution. Well done! I approve shortcuts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stressing-out#post-2296278 Wed, 14 Dec 2022 10:34:27 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2296278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In a very unproductive way. I’m dithering between tasks, and accomplishing none. Somehow I spent a billion hours on my phone, mostly screwing off. Whyyyyyyy? No answers required. I’m just letting off steam. Have decided to quit trying to prioritize. I know what needs to be done, so if I’d rather do y than x, that’s fine, as long as it all gets done in the end. Can’t wait for my son to get here &amp; help, but otoh I’d like to have things well under way when he gets here so we can have some fun. </p> <p>Thanks for listening.</p> <p>Update: In the past half hour, I have schlepped ALL my clothes up from the cellar. I love Mari Kondo. Instead of saying that I hurriedly and impulsively am leaving some things behind, I can say that I culled them because they don’t spark joy. So now I will sort them all into various suitcases and Ikea Frakta bags and be done with that. </p> <p>I had been trying to make myself post things for sale on eBay so there’d be time for people to pick them up. I give up, have found an eBay sales agent. I won’t make money, but that’s ok—I just don’t want to have to pay, or to have good stuff thrown out. </p>
